50In the light of the discretion thus conferred on it by Article 95 EC, the EU legislature chose, as regards the requirement of impartiality of the EMA’s experts, to lay down essential criteria in the basic regulation and then to entrust that agency with the task of implementing them. That is the purpose of Article 63 of Regulation No 726/2004, which subjects the members of the Management Board, members of committees, rapporteurs and experts of the EMA to obligations of impartiality and independence, while specifying that the implementation of those requirements is entrusted to the EMA, which is responsible for adopting a code of conduct.
